+ The huncial and allhuncl packages provide Metafont fonts based on the
+Half Uncial manuscript book-hand used between the 3rd & 9th century AD.
+The font consists of minuscules and digits, with some appropriate
+period punctuation marks. Both normal and bold versions are provided.
+This is one in a series of manuscript fonts.
+
+ Access to the docmfp package is desireable but not essential.
+
+ The distribution consists of the following files:
+README (this file)
+huncial.ins
+huncial.dtx
+tryfont.tex
+allfont.tex
+
+ The distribution is provided under the terms of the LaTeX
+Project Public License (LPPL).
+
+To install the package:
+=======================
+
+o run: latex uncial.ins, which will generate:
+ huncl*.mf files
+ *.fd files
+ huncial.sty
+ allhuncl.sty
+o Move the generated files to locations where LaTeX will find them.
+ For example: the huncl*.mf files to .../texmf/fonts/source/public/huncial
+ the *.fd and *.sty files to /texmf/tex/latex/local/huncial
+
+ On a teTeX distribution you might also have to add lines like the
+ following to texmf/fontname/special.map:
+ huncl7.mf public huncial
+ huncl10.mf public huncial
+ huncl17.mf public huncial
+ hunclb7.mf public huncial
+ hunclb10.mf public huncial
+ hunclb17.mf public huncial
+ On a teTeX distribution remember to run texhash after moving the files.
+
+ (I use a teTeX distribution and found that if I didn't add to the special.map
+ file, then the generated tfm and pk files were put in directories corresponding
+ to some vendor's font.)
+
+ Other LaTeX distributions might require procedures similar to those for teTeX.
+
+To typeset the documentation:
+=============================
+
+o run: latex huncial.dtx
+o if you want an index then run: makeindex -s gind.ist huncial
+o run: latex huncial.dtx
+o Print huncial.dvi for a hardcopy of the package manual
+
+ Note that the docmfp package is normally required for LaTeXing huncial.dtx.
+The package is available from CTAN in tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported.
+If you haven't got this and don't want to get it, then there are instructions
+in the first part of the .dtx file about how to edit it to avoid the use of docmfp.
+(docmfp is an extension of the doc package for describing METAFONT, or other
+non-LaTeX, code.)
+
+
+To check out your installation:
+===============================
+
+o run: latex tryfont for a testpage of the Half Uncial fonts
+o run: latex allfont for a document typeset with the Half Uncial fonts
